We’ve test driven the Tata Nano, but few others have had the opportunity to do it since dealerships across India have been provided with just one or two display cars, and they have to be protected till the next batch arrives in July.

However all is not lost. If you haven’t driven the Nano in the real world, why not try it in the virtual world? Over 1.2 million virtual test drives of the Tata Nano have already been recorded!

The Official Tata Nano game can be played at http://www.tatanano.com. It features three levels, not before you customize your Nano and give it the best alloys and decals. Level one demands you to drive sensibly, negotiating a public bus, motorcyclist and pedestrians, the usual suspects who bog you down on Indian roads.

The second level demands you to be in a party in time after picking up 4 Sumo wrestlers. The 4 Sumos will have space inside the Nano since its built that way, but we are questioning the Nano’s pickup, wait, will the 624cc engine even move the wheels with 4 Sumos in the real world?

The game is nevertheless fun to play and you’ve got to have wait for it to load as a million others are taking the Nano challenge at the same time.
